Only the Potato can make some chair b roll look amazing.

"I need a good clickbaity thumbnail". Your honesty is refreshing, sir. Consider me subscribed.

You are 100% correct in regard to the follow focus mini rod attachment. The hot set up would be a super light quick release plate with real shot rod(s). That way, the follow focus would move with the plate. If the gear depth was greater on the follow focus it might work by not having to snug it as tight.

the reason its vibrating is because of the weight, yes zhiyun can support the weight of the camera but when you titled in that way or certain angles your putting strain on the motors. I use this for weddings and other client work..im a professional photographer from Northern Ireland. hope this helps.

Dude, I trust your videos more than those other KZfaqrs that in recent months are talking about how good the Ronin is and yet all they mainly do are product reviews and no actual hours spent on filmmaking!!! Yah I know, this vid is talking about the crane 2...

That moment when the clickbaity thumbnail isnt working because i immediately click on the video as soon as it was notified that it was uploaded..

Your clickbaits worked on me in the past, but not anymore. I just watch your vlog stuff because I wanna see awesome potato stuff

Lol after watching this video a few times, I dunno why people are complaining about the lack of 120p in the new cameras. The slowmo PJ has achieved in 60p looks just as amazing as PM's slowmo in 120 on his 1dx2. Amazing work bud! Keep it up!

Isn‘t the slow motion also „smoothing“ some of the unwanted movements? To really show the stabilization of the gimbal without an image stabilizating lens I would prefer videos at normal speed. 🙂

OK, I don't normally comment but: You owned my attention when you put the C100MKII on there....and I haven't watched the damn segment yet. You're a great V-Logger. Nice work. Dan.

Peeps, I have a 77d with a 35-135mm. And it would vibrate on medium. I set it to low and it worked. For being that tall with the battery grip, you have to unscrew the tilt axis until you can jerk the arm past the notch and bring the arm down to flush. Orrrrr....you can buy the gravity mount or extension they released. If you can manage a cage, you can mount the servo off that.

I had the same vibrations in some specific positions and rebalancing solved it. Also lowering the motor strenght helps sometimes. About the height - there is a special arm replacement for this gimbal that allows it to lower the camera even further. They made it after 1dxII users made complains. About the follow focus - there is a new model where this problem you were talking about is fixed :). There is only one issue with this gimbal that I can't fix so far and it is a bug maybe. When you lower the handle more than 45 degrees it stops controling the follow left-right and if you rotate the handle and start raising it back to vertical it freaks out. But yes I love the Crane 2, in my opinion it is the best one hand gimbal out there not only as a unit but also as a system because there are a lot of accessories out there for this. I can't wait to see what will come next from them.

If your gonna use a battery pack or 1dx on it, get the replacment extension plate and you wont have any issues. I shoot with a 1dx and a 24-70 2.8 and have never had issues with balancing or shake.

The focus rail has a hole in it designed for an allen key to go through to give you more leverage to tighten it. But I have just started underslinging it like you mentioned which works for all my lenses.

9:33 woah its the first time i see this followfocus in action, It looks so nice :o

I might be mistaken but the vibration dance sounds like what Panasonic described when they made the GH5s (with no stabilization). Your issue is due to your lens being stabilized. That introduces tiny vibrations that the gimbal then tries to correct which makes the lens IS try to fire up even more. You end up with a rig that vibrates as two forms of stabilization fight each other.

nice job man, thx for inspiring me to keep on making epic videos that could be as dope as yours! greets from belgium

That vibration might be a huge problem for me if it happens randomly but besides that looks like it comes with tons of features m plus it’s smooth

Dude your videos are fantastic! I always look forward to watching them when they come out.

You have to use the the allen key to tighten the rod. That's why it has holes in it. Do that and you won't have to worry about it getting loose again.

you're the first video person i've seen using that handle! I purchased it immediately!!! Now i can put my light on it!! PRAISE JEEBUS

Are we just going to pretend your hair didn't magically change from one scene to the next? Super transition 😁

👍🏼 Great idea using the GoPro to shoot the gimbal. Cool effect.

you should change the strength of the motors to prevent that vibrations, i had the same thing with my crane plus/a6300 , motors were set to strong then i lowered to medium and no more vibrations . Simply because the camera wasn't heavy enough to use all that motor strength

Santa Monica seems like a KZfaqrs paradise. There are so many things to film there

Great video.....you get hair cut?

Nice gear! Love learning about these products.

Check out that GTA 5 city remade in real life :D

keep at it man! you'll be big soon!

You should send this video to your Canadian buddy Matti so he can learn how to properly operate the Crane 2. Great video like always.

You know your in Los Angeles when there are 2 Toyota Priuses in one shot.

Btw that follow focus mounting "pipe" can be tighten with for ie screwdriver, that's why there's hole in middle of pipe. You get it so tight it can't opened by hand.

Ronin s has no issues with the 1dx once u get it balanced. Other than doing that infinite roll. Also no vibration issue

Select (high) on "motor" options in your gimbal, to stop shaking.

Seal the thread of the rod by installing a proper size o-ring to the thread of the screw, then screw it in tighly after that you would not have a loose rod issue anymore i think..

Didn't even notice the big dog had 3 legs until I looked closely and man is he/she a trooper and very inspiring watch. Oh Great Vid by the way currently considering getting a Crane 2 or V2 this helped a lot.

Two handle gimbal are so much easier to use for this kind of setup ! Too bad Feiyutech gave up their old designer, I loved being able to switch from one to two grip handle easilly... The A2000 is still a solid solution for that in my book, but obviously the new designs with 45 degree motor that show the monitor is pretty useful... ended up getting a 5th axis stabilizer that I can grab with two hands :)

sigma fpL, nanomorph lens, crane m3s gimbal, dpl Lite SSD rack, my smartphione as monitor. this way i can rig it on a boom pole and raise it 5 meters!

Man I was just there and they had signs all over "no scooters on the beach side" lol EDIT: Also 18650's are amazing.

Absolutely genius "camera gimbal cam" aka the GoPro footage is epic!

You can try to make an external battery pack with 18650 batteries, and power everything with cables. Im now able to shoot raw video for over 1 hour on a 5D mark2, without battery change.

The batteries are why I went with dji my ronin m and s last for days without charging I really think its preference on your choice of stabilizers. I have never had battery issues and I have had my ronin m for over three years maybe you just had a faulty battery.

Great visuals and very comprehensive!

It's vibration dance....and sometimes the kid's ferbie multiplies when you get it wet, nothing to worry about, just wondering where the other ferbies are now.

I would take that crane set up apart. That’s looks too beautiful ❤️

Follow the damn train Potato Jet!

I've used my Crane 2 a lot and I've never had it vibrate on me once, and I literally use the same camera you are in this video. I think something may be wrong with yours bro. lol

that handle should go very well with the Ronin S where did you get that HDMI cable so thin??

I love your jazzy dogs!

Gene, ur vids are of extreme excellence! (Btw, gimbal is vibrating because it’s excited to be working with you.)

Wow i cant believe you made the C200 work!

the dog at the end is amazing

Entertaining Potato!

I knew i recognized that pier haha, miss that place

If you dont mind keeping the rod on you can put some loctite on the threads.

Great video mate, just thinking about buying the Crane 2. May I ask what seamless ring you use on the Sigma 18-35? Cheers!

As an Old Fart who tried to shoot 16mm on the Santa Monica Pier in High School (Samohi) and regretting that I’ll NEVER be able to get decent “movie” results... 😕 70s! Just bought Z6 Filmmakers Kit and we are off and running!!! Only took 50 years. It’s never too late (until it’s too late)

Great vid! Loved the dog in the end!

That dog is amazing.,Love your channel.

The cinema lens was cool, but you were not able to flip the handle from vertical to horizontal, correct? If so, that's my biggest issue. I wish the pan and roll handles were 2 inch longer so when one uses front heavy lens and needs to pull the whole setup backwards it is still able to rotate without camera's viewfinder hitting the back motor. For example, I want to use this gimbal with its monopod and the most natural position is keeping the monopod close to horizontally, hold it with both hands, and let the strap help you out with the weight. Unfortunately not possible as the camera hits the back motor.

Yup.very good gimbal.I use it for almost a year now

First video I have seen of yours. You have great energy! Subscribing!

Great review. Did you figure out what is causing the vibration? I plan to buy one in next coming weeks. But worried about the vibration. This is the first review i have seen it. Thanks

Did you just start using this gimbal? I filmed with it in Japan for 2 weeks on a 5D set up. I loved the footage and got buff arms!

Wow, this looks amazing. Have you tried other products by Zhiyun?

LEFTY

nice video bro....your arsenal of equipment looksawesome.

Welcome to WA state! ;-) I've been researching gimbals lately, for either a Canon M5 mirrorless or maybe C100 Mk2 but, I'm leaning towards just a small gimbal for the M5 since I worry that my old weak Mr. Burns arms couldn't handle a gimbaled C100 for more than 5 minutes! ;-) Thanks for the video!

Can you try and do the same thing with the DJI Ronin-s? Great video 🎬🎬

Awesome video as always!

Hey, I love your channel, I recently got into video lighting and your channel has amazing content. I was wondering if you would recommend this set up over getting the Zhiyun crane 3? The vibrating is a bit of a worry since I would be shooting weddings. I am guessing its a weight issue and I shoot with the fuji XT2 and XT3. Just wanted to get your feedback and also thank you for the content.

It vibrates because of the battery grip 🤦🏼‍♂️

Once again - a great video!! BTW Your dogs are really cute...

“You need to put on a tighter lense” puts on extra wide to wide zoom lens 😅

Why did that painting sequence have music which sounds like Peter McKinnon's intro?😮😮

Yess amazing video! Everything right now is about the DJI Ronin S but loving the Crane 2 :)

Crane 2 is a little bit heavy for me and it is not so smooth when i use the button, it's hard to adjust the balance when it shaking strongly.

The vibration happened to me too! My guess was it might be too heavy for it to handle

go to menu and change settings for motor when it vibrates :) you are welcome.

WHAT!!! your going to Spokane wa. that's just right up the road from me? crazy!!

i watched another crane video that said the jittering could be solved by doing a calibration test or something like that.

Why do you always make simple things awesome in your videos?

Skateboard + gimbal 🤯

Nice haircut and review!!! Thx!

i'm totally going to try my 1dx mk ii my RED epic-w and my new Sony pxw-z280 camcorder !!! i'm stoked !!!

gave you some love on your LUTS package. take care!!

Great content as always! If you haven't already bought a synthetic roller for the right side of your dog, would you be open to one?I feel like it would alleviate any potential stress your dog has because he has to compensate the left side of this body.

Hi there, the reason it is vibrating because it is not placed correctly, when you place the zhiyun crane in right position it will not vibrate

sanding that chair was amazing... lucky man.

Thanks, awesome vlog!

Do a video on how much cocaine you can get in trade for each of your cameras! That's what the people wanna see, trust me... I'm dialed in out here👌

When u attach a monitor on gimbal it ruins the stabalization.. The cable interferes.. What is the solution?

great job! thank you mate

cool as always 🙏

@6:17 just got a haircut in the middle of my video shoot. No big whoop. 🤣

Great channel bro! Subscribed! 💯

Love the tripod!

Zhiyun let that gimbal power up all devices around , but why no power input for gimbal itself.. usually gimbal is the 1st thing is going out of battery

Dude I loved this video, your energy and joy of what you do comes through! I'm just trying to learn many things from others videos. Might check out your LUTS'.....Just subscribed too btw :)

Hi. Please I need to find a replacement cable for my canon 80 D to the crane two. I keep buying the wrong ones.
